Hi guys,

If nothing goes wrong, will be taking delivery of my R34 next week. As the car does not come with an alarm/ immobiliser, will need to install one to as per my insurance requirements. Im not looking for something fanciful, just a standard alarm/immobiliser that comply with the Australian Standards. Any advice on what models or price i should be looking at? Most importantly, where can I get it installed at a good price?

Thank you

Cheers

Mate - don't be stingy when it comes to an alarm - sure, if someone wants to steal your car they most likely would... but hey, if a good and reliable alarm; this process will sure as hell be harder and will also give you a chance to keep your car...

I recommend anything from a Viper to a mongoose. You can buy it off ebay and then go to a installer e.g. Autobarn, Strathfields, Gary's Radio and alarms or an auto-eletrician and get it hooked up.

Or, you can go to one of the above places and get the alarm supplied and fitted.

Good luck mate.

sau vic members have access to a specialist alarm installer who offers great price and service

failing that i would recommend some local guys and just ask them some obvious questions

what sorta cars do they work on - how will the alarm protect your car etc

Jump on ebay mate... then call around a few of the shops (that I had mentioned) and ask for some quotes... labour is around $70.00 at most places... so just factor this into the price mate... also, most alarms now offer remote start... not sure if it tickles your fancy, but pretty cool to have.

Good luck.

i wouldnt recommend a remote start type alarm system.

but i rate the mongoose M80 for any skyline.

3 point and black wiring also insurance approved :P

if u live around the east side i can give u a contract who does pro installs certified etc. he'll even come to your house.

No worries mate - an alarm is somewhat an investment on security... don't go cheap on it as it could just save your car from getting stolen... but remember to do your homework as prices vary heaps.

Good luck buddy...

I wouldnt trust the Ebay mongoose alarms.

Heard from a couple of people they are cheap knockoff's and professional alarm installers wont touch them.

Go http://www.stylyn.com/

$500~ for Mongoose M80 + a full day alarm install (removing dash etc)

Professional alarm install which isnt done by a bunch of kids at autobarn lol

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
